2026 BMW X5 xDrive50e FIRST LOOK: $76K for 483HP + 45 Miles Electric Range?

This $76,000 hybrid SUV accelerates to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds. That's faster than most Porsches, faster than a Mustang GT, and somehow it can also drive 45 miles on pure electricity without using a drop of gas. The 2026 BMW X5 xDrive50e combines 483 HP from its turbocharged inline-6 and electric motor to create something that shouldn't exist at this price point.
Most hybrid SUVs feel like compromises. This one feels like BMW took a sports car and gave it a practical side. With an upgraded 11 kW charger that fills the 25.7 kWh battery in 2.5 hours, sharp handling that rivals smaller BMWs, and luxury tech including iDrive 8.5, this might be the performance hybrid that actually makes sense. The real question is whether it's worth the price premium over the standard X5.
